good

This UFC was pretty good. Don Frye is the man, he doesn't take anything from the Gracie-style Jiu-Jitsu fighters. Many people think the superfight is a joke, and I agree that it is slow to watch but you have to remember that Severn and Shamrock are two masters of their art and one slip-up means the fight. Its basically two great fighters feeling each other out, and though it is boring I don't think they deserve any criticism for being 2 of the best UFC fighters.

A good show until.........

This installment of the UFC received a lot of press mostly due to Michigans' attempt to cancel the show a few weeks before the show. A lot of the earlier UFC's were used as "proof" of it's violent nature. While the event went on as planned, a few rules were placed just before showtime. First off, open handed strikes had to be used, and pressure point strikes were disallowed. I think only a few fighters used open-handed strikes, while every fighter did heed the pressure point rule. The show was a change from the previous 9, no tournament but a fight card format. It proved to be a winning formula as every fight was entertaining, except for the Superfight. An inspirational performance by Mark Shultz and an unbelievable fight between Don Frye and Amaury Bitetti highlighted this show. But it was the Superfight that absolutely angered the crowd, and embarrassed all fans and supporters of the sport. Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn basically slapped each other for 20+ minutes, until they finally hit the mat for the last 5 minutes. While there was strategy involved, it's very hard to defend the lack of effort by each fighter. The most disappointing fight ever; worse than any work or ground war. I try not to ruin a review by giving the results, but this is the exception. With all the media surrounding this card, the Superfight may have calmed the good-doer's and politicians, I guess that's a good thing.

A lot of madness in the motor city.

This tape was not that bad.Don Frye shows why he is the predator.
the superfight is what brought this UFC down for me.It should have been called the superflop.Anyways.Rent to watch the first few matches,but stop before the superfight.
